RUGBY

There's a reason baseball is America's national pastime. Canada dominated on the rugby pitch, not once, but twice. The women's team annihilated the US (55-7) in the gold-medal match. And, although our men's team didn't have the satisfaction of beating the Americans directly, they also collected gold while the US of A walked away with bronze.Getty Images

Synchronized swimming

It looks like that extra coast gave Canada an advantage in the water, most notably in synchronized swimming. Our women collected golds in both the duet and team competitions. America? Oh, they walked away with two bronzes. Womp, womp.Getty Images

CYCLING BMX

Never once giving up the lead during the gold-medal race, Canadian BMX racer Tory Nyhaug easily beat out his competitors for the top spot, including American Nicholas Long, who claimed third place.Getty Images

ROWING

Canada won Pan Am gold in men's coxless four, while the US failed to make the podium. Our women did great as well, capturing gold in double sculls while the Americans got silver.Getty Images

Shooting

With their love of guns, you'd think this one would have gone to the Americans, but when it comes to shooting a 10-metre air pistol, we Canadians apparently have it going on. We captured gold at this year's women's event, while America placed seventh. Whoa.Getty Images

Mountain biking

Canada stockpiled on medals in this competition. Speeding past everyone, our women won gold and silver (America came in third). We also snagged men's gold in the event, while America once again captured bronze.Getty Images

DIVING

Another double-whammy for Canada. This time we took gold and silver in the three-metre springboard. America failed to make it to the podium, finishing in fifth place.Getty Images

CANOEING

All right, so now we're just bragging but we can't help it, okay! So far, Canada has come away with five medals in paddling. Two gold, two silver and one bronze. Guess how many America has? Zero! Getty Images
